I think the same things that bothered you bothered me about Gattaca, but I just chose to just let it go.
The remake of Solaris got a bad rap I think. People who loved the original tended to bash it because it was, well, a remake and a hurry-up abbreviated version at that. People who had never seen the original thought the remake was slow!
They both carry the same powerful message.

That's the thing that separates the weat from the chaff in my view - when one doesn't keep getting hit with things to just let go. Don't get me wrong; I still really liked 'Gattaca' - I bought it after renting it and have watched it several times since. In many respects, it's the perfect scifi movie - great drama. In all other respects, the plot is cohesive and the concepts being probed are important and immediate.
Believe it or not, I have never seen the original 'Solaris' - a situation I need to redress (and I shall). I rarely care for remakes - they rarely capture the essence of the originals. I have no idea how well the version I saw mirrored its namesake, but I was completely absorbed by it. I suppose it is a love story in a science fiction film, but that aspect of it didn't smack you in the face - part of the charm of having it told via flashbacks. I loved the substory of the quirky crewmember (or is he?(Snow?)) and the actor's performance of it. I'm rambling though...yeah, powerful film.
